Consider the fact that virtually everyone who insists on the fancy scale model as a first trainer high wing or not soon puts it in the trash can. This happens even quicker if they refuse to get help and insist in believeing all the sales hype that you can teach yourself.

There was a time when fellows who were willing to work with an instructor could sometimes use a not so ideal airplane but that is rare these days and folks believe all the sales hype.
